Forums - Gaming - Persona 2?

I've been wanting to get into Persona for awhile now. I'd like to start out with the first games. Apparently Persona 2 is being released on PSN tomorrow as a PS1 classic. I know there is a PSP remake but I don't have a PSP or Vita so should I hold out until I do?



Around the Network

Well, there are two Persona 2s, and both were remade for PSP but only the first one was localized. In lieu of bringing over the second one, Atlus is just rereleasing the PS1 version.

The Persona 2 being released on the PSN is Eternal Punishment which is actually part 2 of 2 of Persona 2.  Persona 2 remake on the PSP is Persona 2 Innocent Sin which is part 1 of 2 of Persona 2.  I hoped that confused ya.  But go buy a PSP 3000 to start playing the first three  (not including Eternal Punishment).

Digital copies are probably cheaper on the PSN.

Persona 2's storyline kind of connects with the first game however it isnt necessary since the main plot is completely different.

Recommend the PSP remakes however over the console versions especially for the first game. Although you might wanna get Persona 3 FES on PSN for PS3.

 

The order goes in storyline order :



Persona 1 - > Persona 2 Innocent Sin -> Persona 2 Eternal Punishment


Persona 3 -> Persona 4


^ Persona 4 like Persona 2 has some connection with Persona 3 but isnt directly related storyline wise, you might see some locations and characters but nothing storyline breaking worth.


One of those Persona 2 games isn't localized for psp
